Vent heads

Vent heads are fitted vertically at the end of steam vent lines to discharge dry steam safely to atmosphere at low velocity. By separating condensate before discharge, they help reduce nuisance, limit corrosion around nearby equipment and create a cleaner venting arrangement in the boiler house. Typical applications include blowdown vessels, condensate recovery packaged pumps, boiler feedtanks and hot water storage tanks where flash steam or vented vapour needs to be released more safely. Spirax Sarco vent heads are available in stainless steel for long service life and low maintenance once installed. They are often selected as the final component in a wider venting package rather than as a standalone item, especially where site safety and surrounding equipment protection are priorities.
